I’m a little surprised we don’t see more mentions of Lustre et al in the IaaS
space, but I guess the HPC crowd don’t want hypervisors getting in the way.
Personally I’m quite happy with kvm+rbd. CephFS sounds nice but I can only hold
my breath for so long...
Anyways - seems easy to add support ("-o minorversion=1”)[1] but it’s not clear
to me how to tell the minor version the server’s running - looks like nfsstat
only reports major version?
